Reply there many factors to consider when judging a car, besides it's status and price tag. It also depends what class you are put in. A highly modified show only car would not be put in the same class as a daily driver with only a few mods.

I have gone up against cars that were better than mine yet they lost because their car was dirty, or their engine bay had wires run all over the place for their system, etc.

Judges look at cleanliness, attention to detail, modifications done, etc..

Here are some basic criteria to be aware of when preppinig for a show.

Exterior and Paint: MAX SCORE 10 points Overall quality and finish of body and paint; extent of body modifications, additions, details, level of owner customization, quality of fit and finish; body panel alignment, door alignment, hood and trunk/hatch, glass areas, good or excellent condition, window tint, body free of dents Or dings, Paint quality, lustrous finish, no scratches, marks, or chips. Paint match between panels, over-spray from re-finish, ripples or Waviness, imperfect body work, special custom paint color, decals, any particular vehicle unique features.


Interior and ICE: MAX SCORE 10 points Overall quality and finish of interior components; seats clean and in good condition, seatbelts, carpeting, dash and instrumentation, level of owner customization, details, uniqueness. Special modification or additions in interior such as gauges, lighting, trim, floor mats, paint, and safety items, if any. No unpleasant odors, musty, mildew, or wear and tear. ICE: (audio or video); extra bonus points for sound system upgrades or additions, unique owner customization, integration, installation, neatness, wiring, lighting (if any). Is the headliner intact and tight or drooping and baggy? Are the carpets clean and new looking or dirty and worn? Have modifications, such as gauges or aftermarket seats, been hacked in, or are they professional looking? Are the sun visors in good shape? Door panels? Every piece of the interior should be perfectly clean and prepared; there should be no dirt under the floor mats or junk under the seats. Look at the trunk or hatch. It should be prepared to the same perfect state as the interior.


Overall Cleanliness: MAX SCORE 10 points Complete overall vehicle cleanliness and detail. Attention to detail in all areas of the vehicle. Under the hood, around engine, wheel wells, rims and tires. Body panel seams, grilles, lower edges of body, door edges and hinge area. No build up of wax or polish in seams, etc. Glass clean and streak free. Carpeting and mats vacuumed. Seats clean and free of stains. Dash and instruments dust free. Trunk area vacuumed or free of debris and/or personal items. Wheels and tires clean and dust free. Suspension components, visible underbody etc free of dirt and grime.


Engine Bay and Performance: Max SCORE 10 points Overall quality and detail engine components, drivetrain components; level of owner customization and uniqueness, quality of work, integration, stock and aftermarket parts and/or accessories installed properly and neatly, fitment. Special modifications such as turbos, intercoolers, superchargers, boost controllers, nitrous oxide, carburetors, wiring, painted surfaces, air intake systems, exhaust systems, etc. No fluid leaks or residue.

Display
You should provide a display documenting the car, showing special systems, recording the work in progress, dressing up the display area, etc. Displays can be entertaining, informative, or both. This is a good place to pick up what may be a crucial number of points. No display, no points.

Suspension Quality
Are tires/wheels/shocks in good condition? Do they look perfect? What is the extent of modifications to the suspension, and are they well done? Front and rear stress bars? Camber plates? Special springs and shocks? Coilovers? Special bushings? Anti-roll (sway) bars? Are the brake calipers/rotors/drums in great shape? If there was a brake modification was it well done? Are the wheels and tires appropriate to the suspension? Are the wheels coated in brake dust? Is the finish of the wheels perfect or are the wheels scuffed? Do the tires shine or are they scuffed and dirty?

Do you know Bryan Doan? He's the only real good friend I have that goes to SV.

[Bigcracka]

Stock GT500? Doesnt mean it will win just because it's a GT500.... does it have any mods or anything done to it?

Its all about details Ray. My car has a couple of blemishes on the paint, and the carpet and floor mats are just horried, but when I wash her, I don't look anything over and no one says anything bout the carpet or spots on the body. I detailed gt will win over a clean gt500 anyday.

[Bigcracka]

Depends on the judges and what they are looking for. A stock GT500 is really nothing extra special to look at...and if there is a judge that lets it win JUST because it's a gt500...then they shouldn't be judging a show.

+1

It's retarted how a someone could vote for a car just because of it's price tag or "newness". A while back in a car show in Ohio my uncle landed second place with his completely custom Mopar drag car to a fukin PT cruiser with some ghost flames, it was the first year those turds came out and that's the only reason it won. That pisses me off a lot...
